Wealth

If a graha rules dhana bhava plus another money house , that graha is a money maker. Look to the rashi, incoming drishti, bhava, and other significations of the money-maker graha to determine the sources of material wealth.

• For Vrishabha lagna , presuming that Budha is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-5 Budha generate considerable wealth through family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as via creative genius, including children, speculation, theatre, romance, and games.

• For Simha lagna , presuming that Budha is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-11 Budha generate considerable wealth via family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as earned income from the marketplace of goods and services.

• For Kanya lagna , presuming that Shukra is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-9 Shukra generate considerable wealth via family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as via the higher philosophical education and world travel.

• For Vrischika lagna , presuming that Guru is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-5 Guru generate considerable wealth via family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as via creative genius, including children, speculation, theatre, romance, and games.

• For Kumbha lagna, presuming that Guru is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-11 Guru generate considerable wealth via family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as via earned income from the marketplace of goods and services.

Note: L-9 tends to yield wealth for purposes of religious development. Although the amount of material wealth attracted via L-9 may be truly spectacular, the native with pronounced wealth from a dharma source is unlikely to personally own very much in the way of material assets.

the native thus blessed may be the administrator or director of wealth disposition but is rarely the legal owner.

Indeed, a religious personality who does own major material assets should be quite suspect.

" One tenth of our income should be given to charity. The rest should be divided into three parts:

1. One for increasing our wealth,

2. Second for dharma and

3. The third for one's own consumption. "

"Another problem we face today is the gap between rich and poor. In this great country of America, your forefathers established the concepts of democracy, freedom, liberty, equality, and equal opportunity for every citizen.

• These are provided for by your wonderful Constitution.

However, the number of billionaires in this country is increasing while the poor remain poor, in some cases getting even poorer. This is very unfortunate. On the global level as well, we see rich nations and poor ones.This is also very unfortunate.

• It is not just morally wrong, but practically it is a source of unrest and trouble that will eventually find its way to our door.

...one of my elder brothers, who is no longer alive, would tell me of his experiences living in America. He lived a humble life and told me of the troubles, the fears, the killings, theft, and rape that people endured.

These are, I think, the result of economic inequalityin society. It is only natural that difficulties arise if we must fight day by day in order to survive while another human being, equal to us, is effortlessly living a luxurious life.

• This is an unhealthy situation; as a result, even the wealthy -- the billionaires and millionaires -- remain in constant anxiety.I therefore think that this huge gap between rich and poor is very unfortunate.

... So, for those of you who are poor, those who come from difficult situations, I strongly urge you to work hard, with self-confidence, to make use of your opportunities.

• The richer people should be more caring toward the poorer ones, and the poor should make every effort, with self-confidence."
